Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 head green cabbage sliced lengthwise into 1-2 inch strips
  • 1 large onion chopped
  • 5-7 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons cracked wheat bulgur/burghul*
  • 1/2 to 1 teaspoon hot chili powder or cayenne pepper adjust to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup water

Method
 

  1. Sauté the chopped onion in olive oil over medium heat until soft and translucent.
  2. Add the sliced cabbage and cook until it begins to wilt.
  3. Stir in the salt, chili powder, and cracked wheat (bulgur).
  4. Pour in the water, cover, and simmer on low-medium heat for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Cook until the cabbage is tender, the bulgur is soft, and most of the liquid is absorbed.
  6. Serve hot, warm, or cold with pita bread and optional extra olive oil.

Notes

Bulgur (also spelled burghul) is dried, cracked wheat available at Middle Eastern grocery stores or in the international section of most supermarkets. It is essentially wheat that’s been parboiled, dried, and cracked. Look for medium or coarse bulgur for this recipe.
